6. Joe Trippi has a long background in politics
and knows his way around political tricks, much like Karl Rove. The New Republic ran a cover story on him in the 11/17 issue. It recounts a tale from the '84 primary when, as a Mondale operative, he pulled a stunt on Alan Cranton's campaign. He needed tickets to an event in Iowa, but they were all bought up. So he dressed up a bunch of buses with Cranston signs and had the riders collect tickets from Cranston's campaign people. Oooh, it was low. But the sad truth is that you don't win elections if you're not willing to pull out all stops. And we need to throw a guy like Trippi up against Rove.
